Put the Lodi Library on your holiday gift list

Give your community a lasting holiday gift -- donate a title to Lodi Public Library from its Amazon Wish List.

There are several lists to choose from and a title for every one’s taste. The lists work like a gift registry — so once an item is purchased the title is automatically removed from the list.

This year’s library book budget is significantly less than in previous years. The library is unable to purchase all the titles it wants for the collection. Wish lists allow for donations of items that are desirable for the library collection now and in the future.

The Lodi Public Library wish lists are just a click away.

Give a gift to the various collections:

Adult literacy  

Children

DVDs 

Fiction 

Large print 

Nonfiction 

Teen

Annual Leaf Pick-Up begins November 16th

The City of Lodi's annual leaf removal program begins Monday, Nov. 16.
Residents still needing leaf removal services are reminded that street sweeping begins at 4 a.m., with the leaf collection crews following at 6:30 a.m. The City will not collect leaf piles placed in the street after collection crews pass until the next regularly scheduled pickup. Please rake leaves beyond the toe of the gutter so any rain can flow into the storm drain unobstructed.

A map of the City's 10 leaf pickup districts is shown below. The pickup schedule is on an approximate two-week cycle. The leaf pickup program will last approximately two months.

Some tips for residents:
Leaf piles containing prunings, lawn clippings or flowers will NOT be picked up.
Do not place leaves in plastic bags. The bags will not be picked up.
Please do not park cars on the street. They interfere with pickup.

If you need additional yard and garden waste containers, contact Central Valley Waste Services at 369-8274.
